Lessons
I offer private saxophone lessons for young students interested in learning the fundamentals of tone, technique, and jazz improvisation. With over 15 years of experience as a tenor saxophonist, I tailor each lesson to the student’s level and musical interests—helping them build confidence, creativity, and a lifelong love for music. Lessons emphasize proper sound production, ear training, and expressive playing in a supportive, encouraging environment. Inquire for more details!
Long Tones
Long tones build a strong, beautiful sound and improve breath control—fundamental skills for expressive playing on the saxophone.
Ear Training
Ear training sharpens your ability to recognize melodies, chords, and intervals by ear, helping you play more naturally and confidently with others.
Saxophone Care
Proper saxophone care ensures the instrument stays in good condition, plays in tune, and lasts for many years of music-making.
Learning Tunes
Learning tunes develops musical memory, phrasing, and understanding of song structure, all essential for jazz improvisation and performance.
Scales and Arpeggios
Practicing scales and arpeggios strengthens finger technique and helps you navigate chord changes smoothly while improvising.
Listening, Listening, Listening
Active listening deepens your understanding of the jazz language, of rhythm, and tone. It can inspire your own voice on the instrument.
